Title: Novel or Improved Device for use in Extending a Length of Piping Downwards, such as Adding a Length of Air Pipe during Sinking Operations in a Shaft.
Inventor: LEWIS ROBERT DAVID
Filed: 1906-06-05
Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 12,959. Lewis, R. D., and Haydock, R. June 5. Jointing-tools.-Relates to means for extending a length of piping downwards, more especially in adding lengths of air-pipe in sinking operations in a mine shaft, and consists of a device which will automatically collapse and allow itself to pass down through a pipe or allow a pipe to be passed up thereover, and will auto-. matically open again when the collapsable portion is below the lower edge of the pipe. A preferred form of the device is shown in Fig. 1. A centre piece A having say four arms a is secured to a rod B. Each arm a carries a pivoted arm a<1> connected by a rod c with one arm of a cross-head which may slide in the rod B. The rods c are attached to the cross-head by means of nuts d or in some cases pivotally. The rod B is squared to prevent the cross head from turning, and a tube B<1> or a collar limits the downward motion of the cross-head. The rod B is formed with an eye b<1> to receive a chain, which in the case of sinking operations may pass through a hole in the top of the elbow which connects the pipe with a fan. If the device is lowered on to the top of a pipe or if a pipe is pushed up against the arms a<1>, these yield and assume the position shown in dotted lines. The arms a<1> then resume an horizontal position and serve to support the pipe while it is being connected to the length of piping above.

Title: Improvements relating to Variable Speed Gears particularly adapted for use in the Hubs of Cycles, with or without Back Pedalling Brake Devices.
Inventor: SAUNDERS MONTAGU
Filed: 1906-10-08
Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 22,211. Saunders, M. Oct. 8. Driving-mechanism.-In a three-speed gear for cycles with or without back-pedalling brake mechanism, the planet-wheels 8, 9 of two epicyclic trains are mounted upon a carrier 10, which, together with the sun-wheels 12, 13, is moved laterally within the hub to effect the changes of gear. As shown, the carrier is in engagement with both the driving and driven internal rings 4, 7, the sunwheels being free to turn, so that the hub is driven direct. By sliding the trains to the right by means of a cross-pin 19 and a rod 18, the sun-wheel 12 is held stationary by the engagement of clutch teeth 20, 22, while the carrier is disengaged from the teeth 4 ; the hub is then driven at low speed through the left-hand train. For high speed, the trains are slid to the left so that the clutch teeth 21, 22 are engaged and the carrier teeth 11 brought into engagement with the ring 4 only. The teeth 7 may be formed upon or secured to the hub or the outer drum may be connected to the hub by a ratchet-and-pawl &c. device ; or, when the gear is used with back-pedalling brake mechanism such as 24, 25, 31, the drum may be slotted to receive feathers or keys 27 upon the flanged disk 25, the feathers being provided with ratchet teeth 28 to drive the hub and the disk 25 with teeth 29 to apply the brake.

Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 27,078. Lambert, A. May 3, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Grabs.-Relates to details in the suspension and operation uf a detachable double-chain grab which is slung from the boom of a rotatable derrick. As shown in Fig. 4, the grab is connected detachably to the hoisting-gear .by end chains 25 connected to the ends of a short bar i which has a perforated lug in the centre of its upper surface engaging the hook on the pulley-block p. The hoisting-rope h is connected to the operating-rope t near the grab by a flexible connexion 45 so that the outrun of one rope transmits motion to the other, also, the pulley-blockp for the hoisting-rope serves as a supplemental weight to assist the lowering of the ropes when the grab is detached. In the general arrangement of the apparatus, the hoisting-rope passes from a fixed point 56 on the boom to the power drum 55 by way of the pulley-block p, boom pulleys, sheave 100, and the sheave at the base of the mast. The releasing-rope t for opening the halves of the grab passes from the ring 44 in a similar direction to the hoisting-rope, but after leaving the pulley at the base of the mast, is coiled several times on a loosely mounted drum 60 and afterwards passes to a counterweight 64. To open the grab; a band or other suitable brake is applied to the drum 60, and the hoisting-rope is slackened, thereby transferring the weight of the loaded skip from the hoisting - rope to the side chains 42. The power-driven drums 53, 54 are used for raising and slueing the boom by means of the suitable pulley tackle shown. Fig. 6 shows the preferred form of brake, comprising a metal band 85 connected at it ends to the shaft 88 and to a screw-adjusting device, respectively, and having wooden shoes 87 engaging the periphery of the friction disk 83. By depression of the foot-pedal 80, the shaft 88 is rotated and tightens the brake band. '

Granted: 1907-05-23
Abstract: 6227. Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik. May 21, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901 ]. Dyes, artificial ;lakes.-Diazotized 2-nitro-4-chloraniline is coupled with #.naphthol, either in the presence of a substratum or not, and either with or without the addition of turkey red oil, oleic acid, soap, or other similar reagent. The dye yields a brilliant orange colour, and is fast against the action of light, oil, and lime. When a substratum is not employed in the above process, the lakes are obtained by mixing the already-formed colouring matter with a substratum in the form of a paste, or by grinding the two compounds together in the dry state. In an example, the dye-stuff is prepared by coupling the diazo body with sodium-#-naphtholate in the presence of turkey red oil and sodium acetate.
